The movement from one place to another of things or people. Often animals or vehicles are used to make this faster and /or easier.

MYKI replaced by NOKI

MYKI card with no money on it, the NOKI, the perfect solution to protest MYKI.

Because the conviction rate for people contesting their fines related to MYKI is 0% the new way to travel in Melbourne is with a broken or no credit MYKI card.

If you are stopped, just blame the white elephant that is MYKI , give your details and elect to go to court. You will win the court case by blaming MYKI, and go straight back to free riding.

If you pay fines, you’re out of your mind.

 

It's the law.

Don’t believe it?

Make them take you to court and get a conviction, which is harder for them than you think.

September 11 2001: 12 years on

On this day 12 years ago something happened.

What that something was and who was responsible for it it still hotly debated.

Three very large building in New York were destroyed and many people lost their lives.

Debates about regarding planes, bombs, missiles, thermite, the legion of trucks seemingly at the ready to cart away the remains of buildings.

One thing is certain; this event was the excuse for two large wars and occupations (Iraq and Afghanistan) in the middle east and the significant erosion of human and civil rights around the world.

Terrorism became an everyday word rather than something mentioned in a news cast of a far away war torn land.

It’s because of the terrorism

So rather then re ignite the exceptionally polarizing debate around  the events of September 11 2001, let’s remember this was the day the struggle to retain your rights in the 21st century started.

No Speed camera party is launched in South Australia

speed camera partyFor those of you that believe in voting making a difference, this party is apparently contesting South Australian upper house seats only.

This party to some extent proves that you can’t just demand change from your representative.

Probably better that a vote wasted on Labor, Liberal, or the Greens.

Introducing Denis 'Emperor' Napthine Victoria's premier opponent of free speech

Introducing Denis ‘Emperor’ Napthine Victoria’s premier opponent of free speech

I’m sure Denis Napthine thought he got away with it not being mentioned here yet, well we did give you a chance to break the mould of the same BS we get from politicians. But Denis you have failed.

Two major political standoffs are have not been resolved. The Tecoma No McDonalds protest is well into its 10th month, and now ambulance paramedics are audacious enough to want to be able to afford to eat when they go home.

There is little point in having McDonalds restaurants causing terminal illnesses and traffic congestion (and accidents) in Tecoma, if the paramedics cant afford to eat what McDonald’s tries to pass off as ‘food’.

So what is Emperor Napthine doing about all of this? Just threaten them all to shut up and don’t cause a fuss. And don’t use social media to promote your cause, that might make me look bad, I wanna get re-elected you know.

It’s no secret that the Ambulance service in Victoria has been staring down the barrel at a massive budget blow out for many years, the aging population bubble, the penchant the aged have of going for a tree change or a sea change requiring long expensive ambulance ride to the vanishing hospitals. The Victorian State government can’t say this came as a  surprise. Their only response is to cut costs at the most critical part of the operation, the paramedics (already low) wages.

Soon when you call 000, the ambulance will no longer be one of the options relayed to you, McDonald’s will have paid for a promo spot there, so you can have fries delivered to your cardiac arrest.

No paramedic does their job for the money, so when they are asking for more money,

I can assure you it’s from need, not greed

Victorian-Ambulance.

Death? Can I have fries with that?

Hi Denis Napthine, welcome to occupymelbourne.net,  say Hi to Robert Doyle for us.
